I think I can confidentally say that all 4 Cafe members will be returning: Geodbear, Roundersblock, Silentjim and myself so go ahead and pencil us in.

Since Barracuda appears to have fallen flat, should we just have the Fantasy Lounge return? Should we also assume someone from here will reach out to them and Rotokingdom?

Red's confidence can be overbearing at times :wink:

, but yeah, I'll be back with the Cafe.

Rounders Block · Post #4 » by **Rounders Block** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 5:55 pm

Yep, I'm here. Also, as we previously agreed on, busersports (Matt Buser's site) will be our fourth forum.

Post #5 » by **Curtis Lemansky** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 6:03 pm

Alright sounds good, so we have Cafe, Realgm, Busersports and Rotokingdom correct?

Justin, can you reach someone from Busersports to get them here?

Also if Rotokingdom is our 4th forum, does anyone know a gm from there? If not, I'll pm last year's participants via fantasybasketballcafe.

Duh.

EDIT: Have alerted several members at both Buser Sports and Rotokingdom to this thread.

Hey guys, Cap. here from busersports, thanks for the invite, sounds like a fun, competitive league, I'm in. Let's hope there's a season!

Post #8 » by **Curtis Lemansky** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 9:54 pm

Hey guys,

Since you cannot send pm's to anyone except mods in realgm, I would be glad if everyone can post their e-mails in the following format so other gm's can contact you for trades etc.:

myemailxxx@xxxhotmail.com (x's are there so your e-mail wont get picked up by web spiders)

Example: my e-mail adress: gokcemalexxx@xxxhotmail.com

I checked last year's draft and saw that we finished the draft roughly in 40 days so I guess starting with 12 hours per pick (and 12 hours instead of 24 hours for consecutive picks at the bottom and top of each round) would be sufficient at this point though we might have to implement an 8 hour per pick policy during the draft depending on how we do speed-wise (Another measure that can be taken as we proceed, if needed, is banning gm's from trading while on the clock for a pick but I think that measure should be implemented only if we have too many problems and lose too much time with gm's holding up the draft to field offers whilst on the clock).

Any suggestions / comments?

writersblock · Post #11 » by **writersblock** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 10:31 pm

Depends on when we start. If we start now, 12-24 hours should be fine. If we wait until the new CBA, we may have to make the clock shorter.

capoltorta · Post #12 » by **capoltorta** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 11:07 pm

We have Cap., mbuser, and So-Tex from busersports so far.

My email is capoltorta14xxx@xxxyahoo.ca

What is the format, website, settings, etc? An offline email draft is fine with me.

Standard offline forum draft with 12 hours per pick. If you miss your 12 hour window, you will be skipped but you can log in and make your pick anytime.

Picks & players can be traded during the draft.

An example of a league draft thread: viewtopic.php?f=336&t=1047484

I'll create a separate thread just for draft picks (where there will be no editing of posts). We can use this thread to announce trades and for discussions.

Am I missing anything?

Yes, I had celticsfan respond back that he was going to get the troops together and they'd post notice here shortly.
